I've never even heard of most of the sites in their list of supporters... :?

Even the official BBS allows you to link here.  Well, links here haven't been deleted, anyways.  It's certainly not a secret that this site exists, and people who want to find it will, whether you provide them with a link or a name or not.  People who don't wish to download or particiapate here won't bother.

I apologize for making it sound as though I thought anyone was taking advantage of anyone else, as I don't think it intentional.  But the fact remains, you guys are being ripped off, whether you want to admit it or not.  I'm sure whatever plan you have works for you, and I don't fault people for wanting to donate to a site they like and appreciate.  But at the same time, I think the site owners could be saving a lot of money, and not have the need to ask for donations, or charge for certain download sets, like they do now.  But whatever, it's their life.  If they want to spend that kind of money to upkeep an internet site, then that's their business, I suppose.

Mean?  I wouldn't go that far, unless the people over there equate people disagreeing with them as people hating them, and being mean to them.  Just because I say, I think you're wrong, and here's why, doesn't mean I don't like you, or am being mean to you.  I'm simply disagreeing with you.  And yes, Denimjo posted the link to the thread from boolprop.com here, and people here went and read it.  And then, as we are wont to do, we defended our position.  I will admit, by posting a link here, she was certainly going to garner some support.  I mean, people who hang out here tend to be in favor of the issue at hand, it goes with the territory.  So maybe it was a bit unfair, in that regard, but we simply defend our position, and attempt to persuade others to see the issue from this angle.  There is nothing wrong with that.  I don't think anyone can really be accused of being "mean" in the boolprop.com thread.  If people are offended by our position, well, then there's little to be done about that.  They're just going to have to toughen up, and realize that not everyone shares the same moral and ethical views.

Heh...speaking of boolprop.com...

They've recently started turning to their flock of mostly teenaged members for donations to cover their $200 per month hosting fees.  Yes...I said per month.  I'm thinking $200 a month would get me a decent car, not to mention I don't like the thought of exploiting the naivety of teenaged kids.  Do I think they're being ripped off?  Hell yes.  Don't try to tell them that though, they'll defend their ways until they're blue in the face.  Precious group, ain't they?
